Bishop Frederick M Jackson. Sr.
For you I am Bishop, but with you, I am a Christian; one is an office, accepted; the other is a gift, received. One is danger; the other is safety. If I am happier to be redeemed with you than to be placed over you, then I shall, as the Lord commanded, be more fully your servant."- St. Augustine
